| [CT] Since when Premier plan is 20/2 ? I moved out from my parents house [CT] at the end of august. I think premier plan still was 15/2. Few days ago i checked cox website and noticed that premier plan now is 20/2. So im just wondering when they updated from 15/2 to 20/2 ? And does anyone feel the difference?
p.s. Does anyone know if cox planning to upgrade up speed in ct and when? Thanks a lot...  | |

1 edit | well fios is still not there and i dont kno about other competition... but it increased from 15 to 20. Still wondering when this increase in CT was made?
p.s. Whats the point to increase just down speed and not up? Also the difference between down and up is huge... i would rather have 15/5 instead of 20/2. | |

1 edit | Plastic man... if u'll go to cox website... and choose region CT... go to offers... then high speed internet and internet plans or whatever. It says premier plan ... 20/2 + power boost.
p.s. i think during august (i cant remember) i reached 2.6 MB/s one time on torrents... but it wasnt steady. It stayed at 2.0 MB/s and stuff. Now i should be able to get at least 2.3 MB/s steady at night time. I'll check that out when i go back to my parents house during a Halloween break.
oh one more thing.... i used to get steady 1.7-1.9 MB/s with 15/2 on private torrent sites, not all the time but pretty often. | |

| Re: [CT] Since when Premier plan is 20/2 ? The sole reason why the rest of us don't see it is because of competition. This has been discussed in various places.
If you live in a certain neighbourhood that offers FIOS then boom, enjoy it.
Don't let the caps byte you on the ass on the way out, though.

1 edit | well last time i was checkin for fios... it was not available in my area. If u check fios map in ct... its only around ny border.... the rest of ct has no fios.
so i dont kno why cox is increasing down speeds in ct, because i c no competition over here. Maybe cuz we r one of the oldest and richest states in usa... ? | |

Des Moines, IA | Doubt it. Remember - the data portion of Uverse is still DSL. Combine that with cramming TV (and a single HDTV stream) down that tiny pipe, and you're looking for trouble. | |

Your not going to see Fios in CT. UVerse perhaps. why not? Because Verizon doesn't provide phone service in most parts of CT. They may offer Fios in the small area of CT that they provide phone service but thats it. | |

| I am subscribed to the 20/2 package in Newington, but I am thinking of downgrading as I don't see anything near the speeds being advertised by COX. In fact my speeds are lower then the regular service package.
What am I paying the extra money for?
Is anyone paying 20/2 getting anywhere near 20/2 at any of the speed test sites? | |

Well honestly i dont believe in speed test anymore... just seconds ago i was downloading some torrents... i was gettin 1.9 MB/s which is what? 15 Mbps? and then i just did few different speed tests ... i got only 7-8 Mbps on it which is actually the lowest i ever seen...
One night i was gettin constant 2.0-2.5 MB/s on a torrent tho... and at one time it reached 2.9 MB/s but only for few sec.
edit: p.s. my laptop is not even tweaked for better bandwidth ... | |
